Dear Sir or Madam:

NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) reviewed the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, Supplement 33 (NUREG-1437), regarding the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, located adjacent to the Cape Fear River in Wake County, North Carolina. Our comments are provided in accordance with the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.

The GEIS provides adequate information for examining the potential effects of project operations on fishery resources within the Cape Fear River Basin that are under our purview. The closed-cycle cooling system uses less than 30 cubic feet per second of "makeup" and "blowdown" water. Based on review of the information provided, adverse effects on NOAA-trust fishery resources are not anticipated.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. Related correspondence should be directed to the attention of Mr. Prescott Brownell at our Atlantic Branch office, 219 Fort Johnson Road, Charleston, South Carolina, 29412. He may be reached by telephone at (843) 953-7204, or by e-mail:

Prescott.Brownell(anoaa.gov.

Sincerely,

/ for Miles M. Croom Assistant Regional Administrator Habitat Conservation Division cc: (via electronic mail)
